2. Long history of partnership with government enabled CSOs to take greater, more meaningful roles in the HIV&AIDS response.
3. Technical and facilitation support of UNAIDS was crucial in fleshing out strategic and operating details.
4. Favorable country policies related to CS participation encouraged participation.
5. Co-stakeholdership engenders co-stewardship of the entire journey to UA.

CHALLENGES
1. Sustaining the interest and
active, meaningful
involvement of in-country
stakeholders. How to
“cascade” the targets to
individual stakeholders and
make them accountable?
2. Transforming a generally
consultative process to a
“self-driven”, sustained
multi-stakeholder initiative.

3. How to generate the investments (both external and internal) required to make things happen especially in the context of “low prevalence”?
4. How to scale-up without sacrificing quality and effectiveness of specific CS services?
5. How to mainstream CS UA-related initiatives in the overall development framework of the country amidst changing political environment?

ON THE
ROAD 2UA
Make CS initiatives integral parts of the
community health system to increase its
capacity: from pilot projects to regular
service delivery mechanisms.
Ensure sustained funding support for
continuity of services.
ALLIANCE against AIDS in the PHILIPPINES supporting community leadership and stewardship
Build the leadership and stewardship capacity of
grassroots organizations by providing
appropriate technical support.
Streamline and strengthen the capacity of
tertiary CS organizations to support grassroots
action. Encourage them to focus on strategic,
complimentary competencies instead of trying to
outdo each other and, worse, competing with the
frontline/grassroots organizations.
Balance CS involvement in the area of policy
advocacy and of project implementation.
